+1 to Nicholas' assessment. Too many firms I've worked with won't be changing to 2.1/2.2 until it's been in production release for several months, and probably won't trust it. They'll need critical bug support on 2.0. We just need a window for migration, that's all.

cheers,
Christian.

non binding -1 : The 2.0 user base is still large, most of them just don't yet use the latest 2.0.10. We could just promote 2.2.x as the latest stable
release BUT still consider a critical bug-fix branch for 2.0.x

Personally, I will not be upgrading to Maven 2.2 until the next patch
release. I am skipping 2.1 because there is no 2.1.1. Being
conservative in my approach, I find it just too risky inside an
organization to bring in upgrades without at least one patch release.

Will anyone yet document justification for upgrading to 2.2/2.1 from
2.0? JIRA notes are for the "geeks" but a general summary would be
worthwhile.

I disagree with deleting branches. I think that's extreme.

Yeah get rid of it. Is there really demand for the fixed in 2.0.11? I
feel like it's EOL now.


I would guess the vast majority of users are still using the 2.0.x line because the 2.1.x and 2.2.x lines have come out very quickly and users
will
probably let those bake awhile. I think there are still too many
inconsistencies between the lines and change between minor versions
happened
a little too quickly for people to absorb. I think the 2.0.x line will
still
be in widespread use for the next year.

What harm is there in keeping it around? Even if you never return to
it, it doesn't cost you anything to keep it.
